Live Activity consisting of Virtual Didactics (Monday through Thursday) and In-Person Lab Sessions (Saturday and Sunday)

The Neurovascular Ultrasound course presents the anatomy, pathophysiology and hemodynamics regarding the extra- and intracranial cerebral circulation. Carotid duplex sonography, color-flow imaging, carotid intima-media thickness measurement, transcranial Doppler (TCD), embolus detection and new developments in ultrasonographic methods are presented during both lectures and hands-on scanning lab sessions. The emphasis is on clinical applications, case examples and principles of interpretation. The courses are designed as a one week curriculum, and participants are encouraged to attend for the entire week. However, the first part of the week focuses on principles, physics and TCD sonography, while the latter part of the week focuses on extracranial carotid. Either part may be attended separately or participants can choose to attend one day of the course based on their preference. This course offers didactic Sessions and in-person lab sessions.

*This course serves as a preamble to the Neurovascular Interpretation (Carotid and TCD) course.

Objectives

Discuss key principles of ultrasound physics, technology, and anatomy as applied to neurovascular testing.
Describe hemodynamics and pathophysiology of the cerebral circulation, and alterations relevant to patients with stroke, cerebrovascular disease (including Sickle cell disease (SCD), vasospasm and TBI).
List clinical indications for neurovascular testing, particularly as related to patients with stroke, cerebrovascular disease, SCD, vasospasm and TBI.
Discuss the integrated role for neurovascular ultrasound in the management of patients with stroke, cerebrovascular disease, vasospasm and TBI and potential benefits to improve patient safety and outcomes.
Discuss criteria for interpretation of neurovascular ultrasound studies.
Describe key aspects of ongoing quality improvement in a neurovascular service.
